Mike Rohrbach from Portland, Oregon

The first time Mike drove up from Portland to see me several years ago, it has been

a pleasure to see Mike's work.  When he showed me his High Track Dozer, and his

Excavator I had to examine, and touch them to see if they were actually made of wood.

The following pictures do not give them enough credit.  The actual models are

Fantastic!!  I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.  Thanks Mike!!!

 

Mike added a few changes to our pattern # 95 "The Articulated Tractor" 

Pattern # 70 "The Road Grader"

Mike needed a Pile Driver so he designed this one.  Great work Mike!!

 This is just a gravel hauler I saw going done the highway.  No this is just one of Mike's fleet of models.

I put this picture in to show you what it looks like before Mike starts to paint.

I have more of his work that I will display at a later date.  In the meantime keep up the Great work Mike, and thanks for sharing these with us.  Thanks again!!
